Japanese company Metaplanet is rapidly emerging as “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” rapidly accumulating Bitcoin (BTC) in a move that is quickly making the company a major crypto powerhouse in the region.

On Monday, Metaplanet disclosed that it had purchased an additional 1,004 BTC at an average price of JP¥15,134,304 ($104,180) per Bitcoin. This latest purchase, valued at approximately $104 million, brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to 7,800 BTC.

This latest acquisition follows two earlier purchases in May 2025, which saw Metaplanet add a total of 1,796 BTC to its treasury. After this latest purchase, Metaplanet is now the 10th largest public company in terms of Bitcoin holdings, moving past El Salvador’s national Bitcoin treasury.

The company is aiming to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.

"Our results speak for themselves: we don’t set targets to feel safe—we set them to exceed them, quarter after quarter."

Metaplanet’s Q1 FY2025 earnings report showed strong performance, with revenues of $6 million, of which 88% was generated by Bitcoin options trading. As of May 12, the company reported a BTC yield of 170% and a BTC gain of 2,996 BTC.

Metaplanet's stock price (3350.T) has responded accordingly. After the recent 1,004 BTC acquisition, the stock price surged to a 3-month high, advancing by 12.6%. At the time of reporting, the stock was trading at 684 yen ($4.72). In the past month alone, the stock's value has soared by 101.7%.

A significant factor driving this rally is Metaplanet's bold strategy of accumulating Bitcoin, in a move that has seen it rapidly increase its Bitcoin treasury.

Since adopting this strategy, Metaplanet's stock price has increased over 15-fold.

Metaplanet is funding its Bitcoin purchases through the issuance of zero-coupon ordinary bonds. In May 2025 alone, the company issued bonds to raise $64.7 million.

To date, Metaplanet's total investment in Bitcoin stands at approximately $712.5 million, with an average historical purchase price of 13.5 million yen per BTC, or roughly $91,343 per token.
